Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), an SUV manufacturer in India, and Jio-bp, a fuels and mobility joint venture between Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and bp, are strengthening their existing partnership with Jio-bp setting up a robust charging network for Mahindra’s upcoming e-SUVs launches.
Starting with 16 cities, Jio-bp will install DC fast chargers at M&M dealership network and workshops across the country. “With these chargers being open to the public, the partnership will benefit all stakeholders in the EV value chain,” stated the company.
Last year, Mahindra & Mahindra and Jio-bp had signed an MoU for exploring the creation of EV products and services, alongside identifying synergies in low-carbon and conventional fuels.
M&M launched its first all-electric C segment SUV, the XUV400, at Mahindra Research Valley, Chennai, earlier this month. The company also unveiled its Born Electric Vision with a range of electric SUVs to be launched in the country in the next few years. The group is supplementing the launch of electric vehicles with access to extensive fast-charging infrastructure. To this end, M&M has partnered with Jio-bp to provide EV users with a wide, accessible and convenient fast-charging network.
The RIL and bp joint venture is aggressively expanding its Jio-bp pulse branded EV charging network by setting up charging facilities at multiple touch points within cities and major highways to ensure smooth intra-city and inter-city commutes for EV owners. Through a state-of-the-art digital platform, this partnership envisages rolling out e-mobility solutions across discovery, availability, navigation, and transactions to empower all EV users to seamlessly access the M&M partner charging network.
